When you're the mother of a seven year old (& most of the ages leading up to it, of course), it's important, & endearing too, to remember to check all pockets before doing laundry....the day's treasures are kept close in such places and it's the dearest way to see into a youngest's growing heart & mind.  His imagination is kept safe there, & it's ready at a moment's notice when being traipsed all over London to see this old place, that old building, this amazing painting, that historic setting...

| "Mom, we're good walkers..." | 
|  | 
| "Mom!!  Pretend I'm calling you!!  You have to answer with your hand...make it look like you answered me!!" | 
|  | 
| "Look Mom!  It's a chestnut pod - there's chestnuts inside!  I have to save this for my collection with my acorns!"
 | 
|  | 
| "Mom, did you get my picture?  We're wearing the same color jackets, can you see that in the picture?"
 | 
|  | 
| "Mom, they should make a statue of me...London has a big collection of statues..." |
